standing in front of the hospital bed, glaring at the man who was known as your savior, the one who picked you up from the slums and gave you the life of leisure, it was only the half truth, worse than a lie. you were tormented, subjected to cruel punishments. All to fill the position, his incompetent son couldn't, to become the successor of his billion-dollar company yet now when you're finally ready to take over, they just had to show up.

the long-gone illegitimate son of this billionaire and his snake advisor of a best friend, who you had shared a messy break up with. shaking the determined mind of your adoptive father, The CEO resulting in a war between you and Rowan for the high rank.

rowan, not only refused your offer containing half of the share but demanded the whole company, for him it was like a revenge against his father for throwing him out of the house at a young age of seven, to add oil to his burning rage, all of his steps were in accord to Alan's advances, someone you thought you got rid of back at college but now...

you're sitting on the chair, with your arms crossed in a careless manner, wearing the expensive clothes and perfume you always did. beside you, in a distance stood Rowan, your step brother not even acknowledging your presence but someone else behind him didn't seem like he could take his eyes off you with a smug grin, Alan. All of your gazes fixated on the ill-CEO, William Ashcroft, now seemingly conflicted between giving out the position of the successor to the much worthy you, and his own son, the real heir.
